Chapter 13 The Old Woods and the Rules of Man
There were fewer and fewer people in the carriage, and Huang Biao took a pencil every day and drew a bar on the wagon every day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the nine bars were drawn, there were only five people left in the carriage. There were also two girls of fifteen or sixteen.
The three of us were already numb, but the other side of the car said, "Let's get off at the last stop."
The five men got off the train with their luggage on their backs and stood on the edge of the tracks.
But there is no effort in two breaths, one by one, rummaging through the bags, what, cold! In February, in Beijing, you can fool around with a sweater and long sleeves outside. This can't be done, the five of them are trembling.
"What the hell is this place!" Within a radius of two miles, except for the railway, there is no one to be seen. Huang Biao rubbed his hands.
"I said, two sisters, from now on we will be revolutionary comrades-in-arms! Take care of it! "It's worthy of being a child in the compound, and his mouth is sweet. But the two girls don't seem to be in a good mood, too, who is happy in their hearts.
It's a pity that we can't do it with our revolutionary comrades-in-arms. After waiting for half an hour, someone came to pick us up and took us to the local handover. The handover man looked at the proof of the five of us and pointed to the three of us, "You guys, go out and wait!" ”
Wait, almost until sunset. The dry food is almost frugal, and Huang Biao is thinking about finding a place to eat.
"You have money? We brothers have only two dollars left! "I rummaged through my pockets.
Huang Biao smiled mysteriously, poured a half-sound, and took out a cloth bag from his trousers, and a ticket of ten yuan a piece. Ma Zi and I were stupid.
"I sold my father's painting, and I also had a vase of Chongzhen. By the way, there's also a tweed coat for the general! ”
Ma Zi and I stammered.
"What kind of eyes, he doesn't know what year and month he can come out, anyway, he can't use it! Do you eat or not? If you don't eat it, you can go by yourself! ”
Nonsense, of course eat!
I was thinking about what to eat, and as soon as I saw a flower, Huang Biao's hand was empty.
"What did that guy do?" Yellow label looks at the horse.
"Who knows, it's probably a money grab!" Ma Zi rubbed his face and pulled me to turn and sit down.
"Oh!" Huang Biao didn't care, and as soon as his legs were raised, the two eyes glared, "Your uncle!" ”
After saying that, the girl who didn't look back caught up.
By the time he returned, the sun was gone. Fighting the rooster to our side, panting.
"Where's the money?" I asked.
"Learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds! Selfless dedication! Huang Biao held his head. Yes, I didn't catch up.
For two yuan, it was enough for us to eat for a few days. I comforted him.
The three of them huddled together to get warmer.
"Baby, are you educated youths from Beijing?" Hearing someone talking to us, all three of us looked up.
The old man wore a jacket made of unknown animal skins, and in other places, he was sloppy and had a fight with my master.
I nodded so hurriedly that I almost didn't cry. Finally someone came to pick us up!
"I'm sorry, baby, it's too late!" The old man was glad to see that he had found the right person.
"Out of the way, out of the way, old man, what do you call it?" Huang Biao waved his hand.
"Old Zou! This baby from Beijing can speak! Old Zou said rarely.
After that, Lao Zou took us to a donkey cart not far away, on the wooden cart, a bear skin was paved, we grabbed it and covered it, hey, it's so warm.
"Old Master Zou, is this a bear skin?" I touched the soft fur and started smooth.
"Yes, it's a blind bear who is about to become a sperm! Hurt a lot of people! Lao Zou drove the donkey, and from time to time he smoked the pot.
"Can this bear become a sperm?"
"That's it, the things that eat people, they're all about to become sperm!"
"How did you kill him?"
"The whole village of men went, and they were seriously injured! Our northeast, there are many old forests! There's everything in this forest! The babies are in place, don't run around! ”
The sky is already a little blurry, and the winding mountain road makes it impossible for us to tell whether Lao Zou is driving the donkey to the south or north, but the sky is getting darker and darker, and the road is getting narrower and narrower, and it is becoming more and more difficult to walk.
"Old Master Zou, how long will it take us to get to the place!" Ma Zi asked, what we all wanted to ask.
Old Zou Ye laughed, "Go to the place, baby, lie down for a while!" When you get to the place, you have to wait for the day after tomorrow! ”
When we heard this, we were all anxious, "This, this donkey, can it afford to eat!" ”
"You baby, goblin! Don't worry, walk for another two hours, there is a place in front of you that is specially built in the village, in your words, it is a post station! ”
We finally breathed a sigh of relief. During this period, the yellow label suggested making a fire for lighting. Old Zou Ye forbade it with a serious face, saying that you can't make a fire in the mountains at night, that is looking for death. There are things that are afraid of the fire, but there are things that see the fire like a person sees gold. Whatever is like that, they are refined, and they know that where there is fire, there are people.
We were amazed to hear it.
In less than two hours, maybe I fell asleep in a daze, anyway, when I opened my eyes, it was the old Zou Ye who was calling us down, and when it came to the place, I stayed here at night.
Through the hazy moonlight, which was obscured by various plants, it was a stone hut with two large faces at the top.
A few of us went into the house. Old Zou Ye tied the donkey cart, and when he entered the house, he plugged in the wooden door, and the fire was lit, so that we could see clearly the furnishings in the house, a few bags, two bundles of firewood, and a few pieces of dried meat hanging above.
"Old Master Zou, didn't you say before that you couldn't light a fire?" We were all curious, and he didn't let us light the fire, and he poured it himself up, didn't he slap himself in the face.
Old Zou Ye said, "It's not in the way, even the blind man with the greatest strength can't move a single hair of us when he comes!" ”
Old Zou Ye looked for the iron pot from a corner, and took out a few handfuls of mushroom-like things from the bag, as well as a string of red peppers and some other things I didn't recognize, and threw them into the iron pot.
"Old Master Zou, that blind bear really eats people?" Huang Biaodao.
"That's not what's wrong, I don't believe you go outside and take a look, the paw prints of the blind bear on the stone wall!" Old Zou Ye added a pot of water, took out a knife and cut a large piece of dried meat and threw it in.
Huang Biao shrunk his head, "Forget it!" I believe it! ”
"It's not that you have to eat people, it's a minority, for example, last time I heard a creaking sound outside in the middle of the night, and when I woke up, a big bear looked at me with a big bear face in the window, I threw a few pieces of dried meat, and that thing ate it and left, and gave it to me!" Old Zou Ye was full of interest.
He said it lightly, but our brothers had goosebumps when they heard it.
"What did you do if you ate your donkey?" Huang Biao wiped his saliva at the grumbling iron pot.
"You don't understand that! The things that can run to the edge of this stone house and eat donkeys in this mountain are nothing more than fine things, but the people in our forests have made rules with them, and they won't eat them! ”
Lao Zou pinched something with his hand and spilled it in the pot, and the smell of the room made the tip of our brother's tongue bubble out like water after eating the small half-moon baked cake.
"What rules!"
"For example, we usually hunt, only hunting some wild boars, roe deer pheasants or something, then the bear and tiger will not touch! But once one of them hurts someone, even if they break the rules first, we kill it, and the rest of the same kind will not care! In the same way, if anyone breaks the rules first and is retaliated against, we can't ask! ”
Lao Zou stopped, a little solemn, their lifelong mountain people and nature feelings, a little incomprehensible, but after a long time, we know how important that respect for nature is.
"Alright, alright! Come on, baby, you're all hungry! There is a bowl behind the firewood, take it yourself! Lao Zou greeted.
"Okay, old Zou Ye, you're welcome!" Our brothers are more anxious than a monkey, drinking spicy sweating, biting off their tongues fragrantly, and fresh soup that can't bear to open their eyes, and suddenly think, this place is good!
